Former Reagan Defense Deputy Assistant Secretary KT McFarland on the Paris terror attacks and whether Belgium has become a breeding ground for terrorism.

Secretary of State John Kerry is facing backlash for comments he made Tuesday in Paris comparing the terrorist attack earlier this year on the offices of French magazine Charlie Hebdo to the ones carried out across the city last Friday.

Critics are blasting his comments as unfounded rhetoric.

"There is no excuse for violence."
